4 Rlsud Girls 'sSixth Sense

Il hear talk about people like Laura
Bridgman developing a sixth sense, OF
something of the sort; pray what is your
opinion as TO thatf'
'sThat sixth sense talk Is all nonsense;
of course il is. l work with blind people
all the time and never stop wondering at
the way they manage to do things, but OF
course see and know in detail how they
use the senses left them in q thousand
places where we use our eyes. But /
must say that some of the work done by
Laura's fingers seems marvellous. l think
the most wonderful thing Is the way she
will judge of the intelligence Of stranger
by touching MS hand. OF course she can
tell less in this way than another person
of her intelligence could by looking at the

with certainty. She despises persons of
inferior intellect, as you may know, and
viii have nothing to do with them. There
is school for idiots near here, and one
day the experiment was tried Of taking
her TO drive roundabout way-she is
very fond of riding-to the place and put
ting the hand Of one Of the inmates in
hers. But it was Of no use; Laura threw
the hand away in an instant, with an e1-

LONELINESS OF THE CAR.
Not a Man in the World More Deeply
to be Pitied-The Nihilists.

There IS not man in the world more
deeply to be pitied than the present
| emperor Of Russia. The loneliness of
kings, loneliness naturally resulting
from their place, which hardly admits of
friendship, and does not admit of equality,
is always terrible, and is frequently felt
by themselves so severely that they break
through all restraints of prudence and
moral law in order to be rid Of it. Rather
than not have friends, people before whom
they can diSrobe their minds and sit in
mental slippers, they will give all power
to favOriteS, or to women who could be
bought without any such sacrifices of
their states or their subjects. The lonei-
ness of o. car as absolute as q Caesar and
as swiftly obeyed, so far above his sub
jects that Count Tolstoi, in the admirable
series of historic sketches which he calls
s'War and Peace" and issues as a novel,
describes mobiles as fainting with agitation
at the sight of him, must be almost shock
ing. He is so utterly master, he can SO
completely and instantly make and I'M
make, the hostile eXertion of his will, If
he exerted it would be so deadly in its
force that he can have no true equal, or
friend, or easy companion.
He may, like Alexander Ii, try to be
bonn camderae, or, like many cZars sur
round himself with mistresses; but the
distance remains always too great for true
friendship, or for any perfect alienation
from society Of the troubles of the mind,
any Tightening of that burden of empire
which, when his word is always final, go
presses on the conscience even Of evil
kings. 1t is scarcely possible to be wholly
disinterested with car if only for the
terrible powers his mere friendship places
in your hands, scarcely possible, either
for the car not to perceive or to suspect
in every sentence uttered some concealed
intent. In any nature such position
must beget habitual suspicion; and when
the car is by nature or has become
through cruel experience, gloomy, re-
served and unsocial, the suspicioUsness
must rise into a mastering passion.
Add that the car has been driven by
the Nihilists into life OF almost utter Sc
clusion; that he has reason to fear for his
life at every hour in the day and from the
most unlikely quarters; that he is de-
prived of intimates by his virtues as well
as by the dread he inspires, and that he
has no children old enough TO share his
thoughts, and we may imagine to what
heights suspiciousness may rise in him
and how near TO the sources of fury every
thought may lie-The Spectator

Every moon is the world made new:
You who are weary Of sorrow and SHINING.

A hope for me and hope for you.

Economy in Potato Raising.

American Agriculrurist.
A most successful way of raising potatoes in
the South is by planting them in what is called
a ''lazy bed ;" which is done by applying manure
whole bed with straw, leaves, cornstalks, or any
coarse litter. By this plan, no working or weed
ing is required, and the growth is not stopped by
the first hot, dry weather, as the ground is kept
cool and moist, which generally increases the
yield of the potatoes and makes them of much
better quality.
/ A good plan. by which several objects are com
bined, is 90 select field which is to be sown to
wheat next fall and fence in as much as will
make good sized feeding lot for cows and sheep
In this Enclosure feed all of the stalks. The
following spring take the adioining land for
potatoes; pillow well; then lay off three or four
rows at time on the side furthest from the COW
pen. Make the burrows deep: drop the potatoes
at good distances apart and fill the furrow
entirely up with coarse manure, keeping on in
this way until all are planted. The object in
planting only few rows at time is to avoid
running the manure-wagon over the burrows. as
this would destroy them. After the field is all
planted rake with a hay or stalk-rake the
stalks from the COW pen on the potato plot,
SO that the covering will be foot thick after
settling. This is all that s needed until har-
vest, when the stalks are raked from the pota-
toes and thinly spread over the wheat field. to be
powed under. The potatoes can be gathered
without digging. as they will either be on the
top of the ground or in the loose manure. In
the South potatoes raised in this way may be
left in the ground all winter, and gathered in
perfect condition in the spring.
The conditions OF success with this method
are to use plenty of manure and to have the
mulch at least foot thick. Nothing is SO good
for a mulch as corn-stalks, and in raising pota-
toes in garden the stalks may be piled on the
edge of the patch in gathering, and may be used
for several years.

The Cows In Woodruff Place.
TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Jou rnal:
In vour issue of fhis morniup vou say.


The residents of Woodruff Place disappointed.
yesterday afternoon, when Judge Howe decided that
William Lockwood had no right to lmpound the cows
of lsadore Martin. which were found grazing in
Woodruff Place last summer. The court held that
there was ordinance preventing the running at
large of in the little village. and gave Mr.. Martin
500 damages for being put to so much expense and
trouble by the residents of the suburban village.
Lockwood had nothing whatever to do with
the matter further than that he is a member Of
the board of trustees.
Judge Howe, in his instructions to the jury
said:
Upon the issue between the plaintiff and defendant
instruct you that the town of Woodruff Place
legal corporation; that the ordinance of said town in
nance. and authorized the defendant. as marshal OF
said town. to mpound cattle found running at large
wi hin the corporate limits of said town, whether the
gates thereof were kept closed OR rot.
Verify, verify. the reporter is wiser in his day
and generation than the judge the bench.
The Gods truth of the whole business is,
Judge Howe would have instructed the jury to
fine for the defendant had it not been for the
fact that there was put in issue the question of
the sufficiency of the pen in which the eat
tie were confined, and it was charged thar oy
reason OF such insufficiency the cattle were in
jured.
Woodruff Place will furnish mahogany stalls
for the cows of these dairymen who living
off of their neghbors if they wish it; but be-
lieviLg that the prices should be commensurate
with the accommodations, the board of trustees
have already raised the penalty TO 81 per head.
AS increased Accommodations and care are re-
our level best to keep up with the procession by
way of increasing penalties.

cies from engaging in the business. To my mind
it is manfestlv certain that the way TO attack
the. business in Indiana is by direct submis-
sion of the question to the people of the State
through the channel of a crohibitory amend
menta This would at least be attacking the
beast in a vital part IL would impress the
hearts of men, and some would need no more
powerful restraint than this would afford. By
local-option methods man might be driven by
force OF public opinion from town or pre-
cinct, where the vote was against him. to an
other, where contrary opinion prevailed By
the prohibition method, when once a man is
routed there would be 70 vantage ground in one
part of a State compared with another. The
brand would be upon his brow, and his only
option would be out Of the business or out of
the State. O. r. BEEBE.

Novelties in Plants,
Rural New York.

The advice of many rural papers to leave
novelties alone" is retrogressive. There are two
great classes of cultvators those who can afford
to buy and to try new seeds and plants. and who
delight in it. and. second, those who care for
them means of support profit. The first
class stand in little need of caution or advice.
But it should be the study of every farm journal
to assist the latter class, not by advising them
to 'shun novelties" but through investigations
inquiry and experiment, to aid them in judi
cious selection.
The farm journal that advises its readers to
'beware of novelties" shirks it's duty. If such
journals have reason for existence which is
stronger than another, it is that they are to find
out what new plants. or seeds, methods. or
improvements are worthy OF commentator or
trial; what not. All improvements of every
kind come through novelties, and the progress
sive agricultural journal must be prepared to
give the earliest trustworthy information re-
speeding them.

man, attired in suit of broadcloth, was yester-

ter Sessions, complaint of his second wife,
Annie Maria Zoller She claimed that he put
her out of the house short time ago. refused to
let her have her clothing and had not supported
her since, Il was testified that the defendant
had obtained divorce from his first wife
through an Indianapolis divorce mill about
seven years ago, and shortly afterwards married
Annie Maria Lee, his housekeeper who had also
had some experience in the divorce line
The Doctor claimed that the Indianapolis di-
vorce twas no good in this State" and also
questioned the commences Of his wife's papers.
The judge, after scanning the papers, said TO
the Doctor: ''lf your divorce was good enough
for you to marry on 1t is good enough for pur-
poses of support. You are ordered to pay five
dollars per week for the support of your wife,
and to surrender her clothing to her.

son In this city, did not know that her husband

A Dog Trap.


If your sheep are worried by dogs and sheep

DOG did the deed, you may possibly find out by
building pen OF rails around the dead carcass
in such way AS to make dog trap. Build the
pen square with four lengths Of rails, placing
) the bottom rails as far apart as the rails will
reach, and laying the next tier little nearer so
the pen when done will be as easy to climb
over from the outside as flight of stairs and as
hard to get out of as an old fashioned quail trap
When you find the trap has worked to your
satisfaction use your Judgment in disposing of
